"Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with His people, and HE will plead with Israel."
Micah 6:1-2

Arise: Contend for the Faith will focus specifically on addressing the vain philosophies and deceits of man and Satan, as put forth by the cults, and the 'world religions' or
the purportedly 'great religions of the world,' outside of perfected Jewry (Christianity), and which are diametrically and eternally opposed to GOD the Father, His CHRIST, His Gospel, and His Kingdom.

Once upon a time there was a great humanitarian, the man was a Jew, while the
man was still a young boy he suffered terribly in the Nazi's prisons aka "concentration
camps" which they used in their Satanic attempt to annihilate the Jews. But
by the mercy of God the boy survived the Nazi's
extermination (& attempted annihilation) of the Jews (& the Soviet's
extermination & attempted annihilation of the Jews), the man would achieve
world-wide fame, and would be known for his humanitarian deeds &
words. Once upon a time is now, and the great man for all of his
world-famed knowledge and wisdom is inexcusably and disastrously ignorant of his maker, his creator, the God
of the Jews & the God of the Christians, the God for all people that will
submit to him and receive as their God.

The following quote is
attributed to Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel:

"No human race is superior; no
religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong.
Only racists make them." [Well a fool made this declaration, for all
of his humanitarian decency and brilliance, he is a fool. And Elie claims
to be religious!]

Only if there is
no God, is no religious faith true, and Elie correct. Only if there is no
God, are the gods, i.e., the demons, of animism, Satanism, Witchcraft, the Occult, the
New Age, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, the
Jehovah's Witnesses, Voo Doo, the Druids, Sun Worship, Paganism, Heathenism,
Greek Mythology, animal worship, nature worship, Hedonism, Marxism,
Communism...equal.

But the "wisdom" of "great
thinkers" like Elie notwithstanding, there is one true God, God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. And Elie Wiesel is disastrously, shamefully, eternally,
ruinously wrong and headed for eternal suffering that Jesus the Christ, Yeshua
Hamashiach, the Messiah, came, and sacrificed, and suffered, and died (and after
three days rose again, and after 50 days ascended into heaven to the right hand
of God the Father) to save Elie from suffering. Sadly, Jesus's infinitely
great self-sacrifice was for many people a
sacrifice made in vain (even for some of the best of sinners), due to their unwillingness to recognize him as the Messiah,
the only name given under heaven by which we may be saved, and their
unwillingness to submit to his Lordship. What a pity that fine
humanitarians like Elie should suffer eternally with the Nazis (may Elie
recognize the errors of his ways, and embrace Jesus as Saviour & Lord before
he dies). And what a shame, and I do mean shame, that people like Elie
Wiesel, by their embracing of all cultures, all religions (except the exclusive
truth of Jesus Christ), should
perhaps succeed in leading greater multitudes to eternal destruction than the
likes of Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin...Adolph Hitler
(& Himmler, Goebbels, Hesse, Eichmann...), Mussolini, Hirohito & Tojo, Mao tse
Tung, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Kim I & Kim II, Fidel Castro, Idi Amin, Saddam
Hussein, Yassir Arafat, ...all
combined ever could! What a truly monstrous shame!

If you have a heart for truth, and desire to know and worship the true
God, seek him in His Holy Word, the Holy Bible, and you will find Him.

John 18:37-38

"Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou a king then?
JESUS answered, Thou sayest that I am a king, To this end was I
born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto
the truth. Every one
that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto
Him, What is truth?"

Acts 4:10-12

"Be it known unto you all, and to all
the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom
ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man
stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought
of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither
is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given
among men, whereby we must be saved."

John 8:23-24

"And he said unto them, Ye are from
beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I
said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not
that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."

I Corinthians 3:11

"For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

Matthew 16:13-18

"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man
am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias;
and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But
whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou
art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered
and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say
also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Revelation 1:17-18

"Fear not, I am
the first and the last; I am he that liveth and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive forevermore. Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death."

Revelation 19:7-10

"I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have
the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy."

The truth is:

No human race has a corner on the market
on righteousness, goodness, godliness; no. All have sinned and fallen short
of the kingdom of God. All are under sin, and lost, and damned, absent a saviour.

God is the God of the Jews and the God
of the Christians.

The Holy Bible is God's Holy
Word, the Holy scriptures, given for all peoples.

Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah,
Yeshua, Y'shua, there is no other name given on earth by which we may be
saved.

Jesus came from heaven, sacrificed, laid
down his life a perfect sinless atonement for sin, so that whosoever of any
nation or race of people on earth would choose to believe on him as
Saviour, and receive him as their Saviour would be forgiven their sins and
inherit eternal life.

Jesus the Christ is the only Saviour
there is for any and for all people, whether they be Jew or Gentile, white,
black, brown, red, yellow...semitic, caucasian, european, scandinavian,
negroid/african, arabic, oriental/asian, hispanic/latino....

The Hebrew faith, and the Christian
faith (completed Hebrew faith) were fashioned and breathed by God.

All other so-called 'faiths' & 'religions' are
lies, are shams, are pagan, heathen, infidel, and are Satanic to the core
(infinitely, and damnably worse than merely inferior, lacking, or
deficient).

Is this to say that most professing Jews
and Christians are saved and destined to enjoy eternal life with God the
Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, and the heavenly host in the
eternal Kingdom of God? No, sadly, regrettably no.

.A Few Key
Defining Characteristics or Hallmarks of Cults

For purposes of this list of key defining characteristics, "They" and "they" refer to the cult's founders, leaders, and current leaders or officers...that are in sync with the cult founders.

They attempt to diminish GOD - they misrepresent GOD as being
grossly inferior to the Almighty GOD He truly is.

They attempt to diminish Jesus Christ - they portray Him as being less than divine, as being only
a man, e.g., only a 'good man,' perhaps a prophet, a great teacher, but God? Never!

They attempt to diminish the Holy Ghost - they represent the Holy Ghost as being less than divine, and even less than
human, i.e., subhuman!

They attempt to corrupt, subvert, and pervert, the Word of God - they do this via 'translation,' plagiarism, and substitution.
An example of the cults' 'translations' is the Jehovah's Witnesses' New World
Translation; an example of the cults' plagiarism is the Koran/Quran; examples of the cults'
substitution are the J.W.'s
(the so-called "Jehovah's Witnesses") voluminous Watchtower publications, the Mormon's Book of Mormon,
and the Doctrines & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price.

They typically deny Hell and deny the Lake of Fire & Brimstone. In the
place of coming judgment followed by eternal suffering, they substitute a very
finite suffering of death, annihilation, extermination, followed by absence of
suffering.

They typically teach that the one unforgivable sin is to leave their ranks,
with the most extremely damnable demonstration of such 'unfaithfulness' being to
repent and turn to Jesus the Christ for salvation (to become His converts, His
disciples, His followers)!

They attempt to control you (and your family) and your life (and thus,
your eternal destiny)!

In the case of Islam (which invariably is described as being 'one of the world's great religions,' but never described as a cult), they promise highest eternal honor & blessing,
with blessing featuring a perpetual orgy of sexual pleasures with a harem of beautiful young women,
for those males who will die in the act of murdering, slaughtering, and destroying
"the infidels," i.e., Jews, Christians, and even Muslims who oppose
the foundational Satanic bloodlust of Islam against God, against God's Christ, and
against God's
people. [But, these murderers will suffer eternal damnation and eternal
suffering for these most monstrous evils that they (like their satanic founder/leader the false prophet Mohammed/Muhammad) commit.]

.
The remains of the Temple, referred alternatively to as the
"Western Wall" and/or as the "Wailing Wall," is overshadowed
by the Al-Aqsa Mosque & the Dome of the Rock, which were erected on the
Temple Mount to supplant the Hebrew Temple, to attempt to permanently prevent
the Temple from being
rebuilt, and thus to attempt to overthrow God's Word, God's Work, and God's eternal plans,
purposes, & promises, God made to the Jews and to all whom He would save,
from being fulfilled. This
is a picture of the spiritual reality that Islam is a Satanically masterminded
sham religion, crafted to imitate, plagiarize, supplant, overcome, and destroy Christianity
(i.e.,
completed Jewry); it is a picture worth a million words, that displays Islam's
mortal combat with Jewry and Christianity (completed Jewry). Islam, its
'prophet' Mohammed/Muhammad, its ' god' Allah, and its creator Satan are at war with Jewry and Christianity, at
war with Jesus, Yeshua, the Christ, the Messiah, and thus at war with God Almighty, and
unquenchably hell-bent on their destruction. But if you have read God's Word, the Holy Bible, you should know that
Satan the mastermind of all false
religions, all adherents to those false religions, all who follow him in his war
to supplant and destroy God and His Christ, will be overthrown, and eternally
condemned to suffer eternally.

Subchapters of Arise: Contend for the Faith

Subchapter addressing why we should
choose Jesus Christ & God the Father, instead of competing gods of cults and so-called "great world
religions":

.
The times which lay ahead are very evil times indeed, but they are numbered, and after
Satan has inflicted a reign of several unprecedentedly murderous years of global occupation and destruction, the LORD JESUS CHRIST will return in glory as righteous judge to execute judgment and justice on all
those who have resisted, refused, and rejected the Love of God, Jesus the Christ.

Eternal relationship with God through Jesus Christ the Son, requires more than mental assent or belief that Jesus Christ is God the
Son ('Billy Grahamic' or modernistic American christian evangelism
notwithstanding). Eternal relationship with God requires obedience to God the Father through Jesus Christ
the Son (John 12,13,14,15...).
